Tabebuia Rosea * 风铃木

Posted on 17. Mar, 2009 by in Landscape/Macro | 19 Comments

Woke up early one morning of last week, and together with a few friend, I went to shoot ‘Penang Sakura’. However, it’s real name is “Tabebuia Rosea” * 风铃木” and not the Japanese Sakura. Tabebuia Rosea originally comes from Central America. it has beautiful big flowers, and gives shade, but you’ll never see a bee in the flower!
ok…here are some shots to share.
